Missing Plane

[J-man]

Many people don't realize Al Qaeda is alive and well in that part of the country, it's a world wide network not just in the Middle East. Their Asian connections are often extremely violent and use hijacking / ransom as a common weapon. Hopefully there will soon be a break in the search. I just pray for the passenger's safety but honestly I think it's a long shot that there are many, if any, survivors.

Do I get a free lunch when it is found, crashed in the water or jungle?

They are trying to find a needle in a very big haystack, and that haystack is getting larger rather than smaller. Depending upon weather, any fuel slick or debris field in the water could be long scattered by now. The plane may never be located if they don't stumble upon the ping from one of the recorders within the next few days.

That is horribly sad for so many people. The never truly knowing what happened.

Today Malaysia officials advised that they have now expanded the search for the missing plane to include swimming pools and small ponds.
When asked why they would be searching swimming pools and small ponds for the missing Boeing 777, Malaysia officials replied:

It is like the man who lost his car keys one night. He was looking in the bushes under a street light when another man came up and asked what he was looking for.
"My car keys." ,replied the searching man.
The second man offered to help and together they looked in the bushes under the street light for 15 minutes, when the second man asked, "Where exactly were you when you lost your keys?"
"Over there in the bushes next to the alley." ,replied the man with the missing keys.
"Then why in the heck are we looking way over here under this street lamp?" ,asked the startled second man.
"The light is better over here." ,replied the man with the missing keys.

CNN is now reporting that the satellite images provided by China look like another dead end. I heard a blip of info about there being yet another lead, but didn't hear that whole story. Curiouser and curiouser.

My threshold for "freaky deaky" is pretty high.

Four hours of flight is highly unlikely. The plane disappeared in an area with no ground radar, and the transponder was the only means of location when they went missing. Four hours of flight in any direction would have them pass well within range of defense and ATC radar. No such contacts were reported.

It is far more likely that the ACARS data download was delayed due to other factors or that it was simply an attempt by the satellite system to locate the engines to initiate data transmission as was the case with the early reports of cell phones ringing.

Whatever happened, it had to involve catastrophic depressurization, explosion, massive electrical failure, or crew intervention for the transponder and back-up to quit suddenly and simultaneously. It is unlikely that the aircraft could have been taken over without a Mayday or 7500 code given that there are always two or three crew members in the cockpit. Occam's Razor would point to some sort of sudden catastrophic failure.

Hey!
I said it a long time ago and with less words, "it has crashed in the jungle or water".

But you are right, LTD is smarter than the average bear.
He is also smarter than the average human.
(at least he sounds that way, for all I know he is just making stuff up cause I don't understand half of it, but the breeze is nice as it flies over my head)

LTD, stop using Wiki and all those big words, I can't Google them that fast. Plus it's much more fun to think the plane is still out there and a big story is about to break at any time.

LOL. Now they are saying that contrary to earlier reports, the communications were shut down at separate times, not instantaneously. This opens the door to many more possibilities. It appears that deliberate human action was involved.

It's still very doubtful that the aircraft was in the air for any extended period of time, but it is a remote possibility that an experienced pilot could avoid radar contact to enter the Indian Ocean. However the idea that it might have landed safely without discovery is at best a near impossibility.

The main thing this information changes is that it increases the likelihood of crew involvement, perhaps under duress, but many commercial pilots say that they could get a distress signal off in most any situation.
